Prophasgonura lineatocollis Piton, 1940 View in CoL

Fig. 3A View Fig .

Holotype: MNHN.F. R07050 (coll. Louis Piton), female with wings attached to body.

Type locality: Historical quarry of Menat, Menat, Puy-de-Dôme, France.

Type horizon: Middle Paleocene, Menat Basin.

Material.— Holotype only.

Remarks.— This poorly preserved fossil is a Tettigoniidae as shown by its long antennae, long curved ovipositor, and long tegmina, but its exact affinities are impossible to establish because the body structures are poorly preserved and the wing venation cannot be deciphered. Prophasgonura lineatocollis is a Tettigoniidae of uncertain affinities.

Stratigraphic and geographic range.— Paleocene, Menat Formation, Menat, France.
